In this clip, Vlad and Michael Jai White spoke candidly about the controversy surrounding N.W.A.’s impact on Hip-Hop. Special Ed claimed in a previous interview that the group had a destructive influence, a notion met with backlash from artists like Xzibit. Vlad agreed with Ed, recounting how N.W.A.’s music incited aggression among him and his friends. It was also argued that N.W.A.’s music originally intended to parody the hood with no expectation of its enormous future success. Artists like Ice Cube have radically changed over the years, going from perceived gangsters to family men and entrepreneurs. Vlad and Michael Jai White urge audiences to be discerning and to not blindly believe the personas they see on screen. They conclude by saying that many artists wanted to release positivity, but record labels insisted on promoting narratives of violence and destruction, as Ed also claimed.
